Cheerful

During the school year I’m an early riser, waking up around 5:30 am. Once the clocks are moved forward, it is dark at that hour. But I hear the birds chirping; often the very first sign of Spring. We don’t have many blooms to show for ourselves right now but the birds are a lovely treat each day, a welcome sign of the blooms, warmth, and light that will soon fill our days. That’s happy!

About Me

I think the Republican party is venal and ignorant and I fear we all bear the costs. I am ready for the Democrats to control Congress. I like to read (I just finished Viet Thanh Nguyen’s The Sympathizer,), garden, cook, and talk.
I love… birdsong in the morning, the neighborhood woodpecker, cheerful pennants, days warm enough to sit on the front porch, soft sheets, floral skirts, the sky at dawn, peach blossoms, shiny toenails, blue skies, dogwood flowers, azalea blooms, my new rhododendron, ponytails, peepers, my fairy garden, the fresh smell of spring rain, a walk at Colonial Park, Spring recipes, party planning, and sleep after a good workout.
